Wearing a mask can slow coronavirus. If I wear a mask it will protect you and if you were as mask it will protect me. The problems stem from human rights omissions at the United Nations.

I will be getting my mask tomorrow. I have often talked about the human rights omitted at the UN as being responsible for many of the problems we face in today’s world. One of those omissions is Article 29 (1) which states: ‘Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible’. I promote ethical human rights which is firmly based on universal human rights truth as in the Universal Declaration. Under ethical human rights the prime duty of the State is to ensure the ethical human rights of their own people and where possible there are global duties to help those countries unable to ensure ethical human rights for their people. I think China where the coronavirus originated from has a particular responsibility here e.g. providing masks. Wearing a mask can be seen as a duty everyone has to the community and if everyone wears one all will be protected.
